Senior Industry Insider – Remembering 2011

Deep in December, our hearts should remember and follow.

These lyrics are taken from 'Try to Remember', the most famous song in the Off-Broadway play, The Fantasticks. The production began in 1960 and ran for 42 years and 17,162 performances, making it the world's longest-running musical.

Its longevity is testament to its artistic originality and marketability. The Fantasticks is a theatrical thought leader that demonstrates the durability when creators and producers assemble coherent components and perennially carry on.

The Senior Living industry shares many of these same attributes. Leaders in care for older adults will continually direct and respond to changes with the times. So much has evolved since Senior Living pioneers opened residences in the 1960s. The industry has diversified with an elevated quality of care.

At RetirementHomes.com, there's a lot to remember in 2011. This Senior Living Newsletter marks our third year of continuous monthly distribution to industry readers. We’ve developed from tentative beginnings to today's assured approach.
